Finally, a convenient, one-volume summary of current knowledge onan area of increasing importance! The Vulnerable AtheroscleroticPlaque presents contributions from the best investigators inthe field, skillfully edited for easy reading and lavishlyillustrated with high-quality, full-color images.
After a considered and concise introduction, the bookconcentrates on:
* * Pathology of vulnerable plaque
* Triggers for plaque rupture
* Imaging of unstable plaque
* Management of vulnerable plaques
Careful editing allows the authors to avoid repetition andprovide comprehensive coverage of pathology, detection, andmanagement. This thorough and authoritative reference will changethe way interventionists look at the disease.
